Headlight mount move, spacers between VW pan and kit floor I even tried to move the body over on the pan. Nothing works. I need to get longer shocks or cut the tubes to get the tire under the fender. What a pain. I thought these kits were bolt on then hold on. What have I got into.

So I got those. I will post photos of my ride (Jennifer) when I finish with the fender. I will also let you know if moving the headlight bracket works.

It is closer to the tire on flat ground. I did not build it so I don’t what to look at first. But if the right is ok why is the left not. I replaced the shocks with standard VW/1970 shocks and no help there. What’s next for me to try? all stock no disk and no adapters.Shakey572013-10-05 20:33:53
